A few tropicbirds (white-tailed), one more tody (Jamaican-pictured here), and another Red Stripe beer, and I am all done with my latest Caribbean adventure in Jamaica, bar picking up a final few bags of Blue Mountain coffee for the folks back home. Our next tour runs in April 2025 - Sam

To be perfectly honest, I blew past the first manatees we saw because I spotted this big Common Snapper in the distance. It was up at the surface catching a breath when I first saw it but was back rummaging around on the bottom by the time I reached it. I followed it around for a while, sacrificing amazing manatee moments no doubt, hoping it would come to the surface again. After 10 or so minutes the snapper surfaced, snagged a quick breath, and sank back to the bottom. Then it was manatee time

Sometimes known as a Hicatee turtle, the Central American river turtle is a freshwater species that does its best to go unnoticed, remaining largely invisible to anyone who is unaware of its whereabouts and habits. Unfortunately, the meat of this turtle is considered a delicacy in several of the countries where it is found, and the eggs are also collected, which has led to a decline in numbers. In response, some governments have taken steps to protect these turtles, making hunting or collecting them illegal. Photo taken at Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.

Hooded Parrots, from the Northern Territory, nest in termite mounds where the temperature is stable 🦜❤️

Their intelligent nesting provides a constant warmth for their chicks, which means parents can leave for longer periods when searching for food.
